Walking with Elephants is about the last
great herds of elephants in Africa.

With a population of barely 350 000 Savanah elephants left, the
biggest of the planet’s land animals face extinction within our life time. Half
of these elephants during the dry season are densely populated in northern
Botswana as they are protected by the government there. However, across the
border into Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe – where many of the elephants
return to in the wet season, their future is fraught. In Kenya and Tanzania and
South Africa, nearly all of the surviving elephants are enclosed in game
reserves and no longer roam the wilderness that once saw them travel up to one
hundred miles a day…

There was once a time when the African elephant roamed most of the
African continent.

It was estimated that around 7-10 million elephants exited in the 1930’s.
